Moon planting isn’t going so well, I have been trying to stick to it and have got some things right. Last Sundays potato and spring onions seeds went in on the right day but basicly I’m just not organisated enough for it at the moment and trying to plant things on the right day is [...]

I have had my meeting; my last day will be the 30th of April. It is going to be very sad but it is also a relief, after all me going now doesn’t mean I can’t go back when it is a nicer place to work. And I’m going to make dam sure that I’m [...]

I was given notice of my redundancy today. There are still things that need to be sort but it feels like a weight has been lifted but I’m still just left ‘hanging’, I don’t know when I’ll be finishing or what I’m going to be doing for work but I’m so close to being able [...]

Seeing tonight’s Sunday Roast in the oven reminded me that I still hadn’t posted about the mutton we had back last Friday. We’ve had our own mutton before but this mutton was special as it was the first time it was butchered at home.
